1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
Civil litigation under RICO can usually be brought in the following general case classes: securities fraud, bankruptcy fraud, commercial bribery, and frauds that violate RICO mail and wire fraud provisions. Proof of a cause of action under RICO must show the defendant has, through a pattern of racketeering activity or collection of an unlawful debt, directly or indirectly invested, maintained an interest, participated in operations, or conspired to do the aforementioned in an enterprise that affects interstate or foreign commerce. One advantage of civil litigation under RICO is additional remedies, including treble damages, court costs, attorney’s fees, and equitable relief in the form of divestiture and permanent injunctions. Other advantages are the choice of a Federal forum, broader venue provisions, potentially nationwide service of process, and more liberal discovery and evidentiary rules.
I would tend to agree but maybe we need to still keep the thin majority to hinder any “lame duck” session antics that Brandon can sign into law before Trump returns?
